Wise feedback restores trust through asset-framed, candid, aspiration-aligned communication.

Evidence

Possible interventions and solutions for decreasing stereotype threat include removing the triggers for stereotype threat and providing motivational feedback (Godsil et al., 2014). A tool prosecutors can adopt is wise feedback (Yeager et al., 2014). Originally designed to restore trust in students of color, three double-blind randomized experiments provided a series of interventions that have shown success in the academic context. These steps include (1) work with the client/colleague to understand their highest goals and aspirations, (2) use an asset frame to identify and convey the reasons you are confident they can meet those goals and aspirations, and (3) candidly share any constructive feedback on the steps they need to take going forward to meet their goals and aspirations (Yeager et al., 2014). — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 1411
